ct690911: I believe this to be a major contributor to the forums becoming a bit of a ghost town. People have just lost interest.
I do not believe the mod's locking certain threads, or suspending some members, is the cause of the change in the threads. It seems, at least to me, there has always been an ebb and flow.
The forum can get real crazy at times and then go into a lull for a time. If you just have patience, I am sure some new threads will pop up soon before they then get deleted.
On a more personal note, I am disappointed in the lack of interest in the Hoperman thread
Must be a sign. If I did not take it so personal, I would not take it so personal. :P
